Seongdong-gu Hosts the 2nd "Hanappunin Jigu" Event

April 13, ‘2nd One and Only Earth Event’ Held at Wangsimni Square with Eco-friendly Experience Zones

Starting with Seongdong Residents' Carbon Neutrality Practice Declaration Ceremony, Various Experience Exhibits Including Resource Exchange Center and Container Refill Station

Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jeong Wono) will hold the district's representative environmental event, the ‘2nd One and Only Earth,’ on the 13th at Wangsimni Square in line with the carbon neutrality era.

Recently, abnormal climate phenomena such as heatwaves, heavy rain, and heavy snow caused by global warming have been occurring worldwide. In response, this event was prepared to raise residents' awareness of environmental conservation and to lead the practice of carbon neutrality in daily life.

Now in its second year, this event plans to strengthen the will of all citizens to practice carbon neutrality, starting with the ‘Carbon Neutral Green Life Practice Declaration Ceremony’ involving various sectors of the local community including households, schools, and businesses.

At the 1st One and Only Earth event held last year, District Mayor Jung Won-oh is turning a bicycle generator.

In addition, various experience and exhibition corners for practicing carbon neutrality will be operated, including ▲Eco-friendly Experience Zone (Earth School) ▲Resource Exchange Center ▲Oneul Research Institute (Climate Promotion) ▲Container Refill Station ▲0% Store.

In particular, the ‘Resource Exchange Center’ will promote voluntary resource circulation activities among residents by collecting waste resources such as milk cartons, transparent PET bottles, and used batteries that require separation at home, and exchanging them for recycled toilet paper and new batteries.

Jeong Wono, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, stated, “I hope this event will be a starting point for individuals to practice carbon neutrality ahead of Earth Day on April 22,” and added, “Seongdong-gu will also implement multifaceted policies reflecting eco-friendly values throughout the district administration.”
